The First Message.

We find the following reference to
this subject in an exchange: A letter
written by Prof, Morse to his cousin,
Mrs. Thomas R. Walker, in 1914,
dozen years after the event alluded to,
thus explained the selection of the
Scriptural text, "What hath God
wrought" which was the first tele-
graphic message sent from Washing
ton to Baltimore. "You are not aware,
perhaps, that this sentence was the
first message transmitted by telegraph
from Washington to Baltim ore, and
was indited by my young friend, Miss
Annie Ellsworth, daughter OF the
Commissioner Of Patents. She took
the pains to come to me early on the
morning after my appropriation had
passed both houses OF Congress to be
the first to inform me OF the good
news. | then promised her she should
indite the first sentence transmitted
by telegraph iron Washington to Bal
timore. This was the first sentence
transmitted, and she indited it; and
let me assure you, my dear cousin, it
has meaning which few can under
stand in its whole extent"

A Goose Gets Married for Fun.

Notwithstanding the many bad re-
suits of marrying in fun the practice
still goes on, and most probably will
go on as long as human dupes can be
found to keep it up. The latest case
OF this kind that has come to notice
occurred in the town of Tabor,
Mimi, some months ago A party
OF young folks met at the house
OF friend to have a good time
Among them was Miss Mary
Kovar, a local reignnig belle 10 tender
years and much beauty Among
them, also was Charles Vanek, a griz-
zled old bachelor. A Jnstice of the
Peace was also present, and in spirit
Of fun suggested mock marriage be-
tween Vanek and Miss Kovar. The
suggestion met with much favor, as it
would give tone and respectability to
the gathering. The ceremony was
performed and the Justice issued a
certificate. This was all fun, but it
wasn't so much fun when, in a few
months afterwards Vanek called upon
Miss Kovar, and insisted that she
should return home with him and be
installed as the Mistress of his shanty.
The young lady became frightened,
denied that she was his legal wife and
said that she was ouly acting in fun.
Vanek, however, thinks differently,
and has given notice to all the young
men in the settlement to keep away
from his wife. He proposes to test the
legality of the marriage in the courts,

A FATAL MISTAKE.

THE Cleveland Ohio Press,
of February 23d, 1888, pub
lished an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR., Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease Of the stom.
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement Of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis.
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as q
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
q cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and lam
guild feeling. Thenfollowed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re.
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem.
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tesave thepatient's
life an operation was iustifi.

Of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence Of DR..
Tuckerman, DIR. Perrier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist.
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. Wher
this had been done an examin
alton of the organs was made
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was NJ
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have a cancer
When too late the medical mer
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
